The police charged a 78-year-old man with the crime of disorderly conduct and violence against a group of residents, who, according to findings so far, threatened a Roma family in Svitavy with an ax and a gun in his hand at the beginning of May. The Romea.cz server reported on the incident that took place on the street. The witness said the man called people “black monkeys” and threatened to kill them.
